Our ACC Club Shop conveners Allan and Heather have been busy preparing our new ACC Club trailer ready for its journey to our national muster in Denmark, Western Australia. Allan and Heather will be departing the Sunshine Coast on 1 October to bring Club Shop merchandise to members at the national muster in the trailer. If you happen to notice them on the road, please say hello. You definitely can’t miss noticing them!

The trailer proudly displays our Club logo and slogan – we are the Australian Caravan Club, the Club for ALL RVers …where Friendships and Adventure begin!

As we always say, it's the people in the ACC that make it the great Club that it is. We mentioned yesterday we had members travelling to our national muster in Denmark Western Australia via 'the long way round'.

While stopping at our ACC Farm Stay at Howard Springs near Darwin in the Northern Territory, Sunshine Nomads Brian and Linda, and Kim and Trevor, were delighted to be joined by Gold Coast Gadabouts Kathy and Vince.

Since it's the third time they have run into each other in the last few weeks on their journey to the West, we're guessing they enjoy the friendships and adventures that they share. Look out for them on the road too - they would be more than happy to say hello and have a chat. Great to see them displaying the ACC logos!

Our Club membership director Graham is the first Club director to head out on the road to make the journey to our national muster in October in Denmark, Western Australia. Graham and his wife Kaye left their Queensland Sunshine Coast home today and will journey south-west through New South Wales to South Australia, then across the Nullarbor. Keep an eye out for them on the road. They would welcome you to come and say hello.

Our National Muster in Denmark, Western Australia this year is making history in more ways than one.

The muster will be held at the Big4 Ocean Beach Holiday Park at Denmark from 14 to 21 October 2018.

Not only will this be our very first National Muster to be held in Western Australia, but early registrations are beating previous records!

As at 17 June 2018, registrations for the 2018 National Muster reached 100 RVs (or almost 200 members), and we are still 4 months out.

Many Queensland members are already on their way via the ‘long way around’, with Sunshine Nomads and Gold Coast Gadabouts currently up in the Northern Territory. Our membership director Graham and his wife Kaye head out from the Sunshine Coast to travel the shorter route tomorrow. Other members around the country are putting those last minute arrangements in place.

So it's all go, go, go for Denmark.

Over the coming months, we will keep you updated on our members’ travelling there. Look out for our friendly ACC members on the road, and come up and say hello.

Pumphry’s Bridge was the site chosen for our ACC Western Wallabies Muster in May.

This is a free camp located on the Hotham River less than 2 hours’ drive from Perth, with the main attractions being the old timber bridge which collapsed many years ago, bird watching and catching yabbies. Across the river is Pumphry’s Historical Homestead which was settled in 1888.

This was a weekend of relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. With the nights getting cooler, the fire pits were very popular for keeping warm and cooking dinner as well as keeping the mosquitoes away.

Coffee, shopping, lunch at the pub and collecting firewood filled in a morning, then game of Shuffleboard was produced and this kept people entertained until dinner time on Saturday night. The weekend was rounded off with a bacon and egg breakfast on Sunday morning.
